If any of the following sound familiar, this book is for you:
You've used HTML to build websites before, and you are comfortable editing HTML by hand.
You have at least a basic idea of what CSS is and how it relates to HTML. CSS is a large, complex subject, and though this book tries to explain the CSS it uses, this is not an introductory guide to CSS.
You have never used ExpressionEngine or another content management system before. This book is a tutorial book, designed for new users of ExpressionEngine, and will walk you through step-by-step for everything you need to do.
You want to build an interactive, feature-packed website. This book is geared towards using ExpressionEngine on a website (not as a blogging tool).
You want to get started using ExpressionEngine as fast as possible, and you don't have time for lots of reading. This book takes a very hands-on approach, and will get you using ExpressionEngine as fast as possible.
